It could be Monday, if it has to be, I guess.
We are evaluating the options and I think it is fair to say Karen is probably more certain about what she would choose, if that were the case. I found a discussion board of 'ostomates' and put my questions out to them. I want to hear what people who walk the walk, would say. And tomorrow we will meet with Dr. Roy, to bounce some of this off of him.
Yesterday we received a copy of the pathology report concerning my messed up gene. If, (there is always an if) Fairview had followed up on the genetic link back in June when they first suspected it, we could have had blood work done in time for a positive confirmation. We can still do the blood work but the result wouldn't be available before the surgery date.
Like Karen told some of our friends, it is so surreal to have these conversations. "No one should have these conversations" and she is right. So we had one last Friday night in a very noisy bar while waiting for a burger and a beer. Complete privacy in the midst of a very public uproar.
O, before I forget. Apparently some friends thought one of my comments in my last post meant we do not want people showing up. That is not the case. Karen and I are very comfortable with just each other for company but we do love visiting with friends and family. In our early history together, we only had each other. I think some people see what Karen and I have together and make it their choice to stay away; i.e., to not intrude. Somehow I have the feeling I still didn't get it right.
O well, it is Monday, again, after all.
Peace,
Mike
